BBC World News from New Broadcasting House

Out of interest, how long and how regular are advertisements on BBC WN?

I think it depends on your territory. AIUI there are opt-out points provided for commercial breaks that not all regions take (so the news bulletin continues in some territories but not in others). I don't think that there is a single template for all regions.

There don't seem to be that many in Europe but its better then 11 years ago when ads seem to be a rarity I didn't mind if course the break filler back then was excellent

Thanks. Also, does anyone know if there's a website, similar to BBC News Fix, where you can see who has presented in BBC World News that day? I'm just interested to see it!

Just some plain observations, though it may differ at certain times and timezones...
Here in the SEAsia feed, when the news bulletin ends at :26, 90sec or (usually) three 30sec advertisements are being played.... but for "middle of the program" break, it depends on what time it air (though I notice that it is full-load during The World Today and Impact.)

I think there may also be junctions where the news continues during an optional break - rather than the breakfiller being used.

That certainly happens on BBC News in the overnight simulcast.

And it also happens on the BBC2 and BBC4 simulcasts.

At one point it happened during lots of BBC World output, with opt-outs and opt-ins for different territories all over the place ISTR.

The simulcasts on BBC America take more ads than any other offering of plain BBC World that I've ever seen. BBCA skips the countdown and takes almost all of the optional opt-outs. The end result is very little of the breakfiller. The broadcast feels more like an American one with 3 full ad breaks every half hour.

My feed of BBC World in Comcast, by comparison, has very few ads.

Hasn't BBC World been playing Have Your Say promo to fill break at quarter past every hour?

JC on The Papers this morning with Naga and Alice Baxter. Wish he'd come back to World.
